Gokando (Resort Cafe and Sweets, because nowadays nobody wants to just be a cafe) is a popular dessert cafe at Hakata Station, more specifically in the Marui commercial complex. If you take the train from Hakata station, chances are that you may pass by.
The visit
This is the kind of visit I feel guilty about. The excuse was documenting decadent Japanese parfaits.
This was what specifically lured me inside, a chocolate parfait with 8 layers of forbidden pleasures…
This was in reality. As advertised. It was huge. And it was good.
In Japan actually I saw people, including minute women, eating this kind of stuff.
The check
If I had known the price, probably I would have skipped it. It was 2,000 yen (18.50 USD).
